National Student Exchange

Instead of crossing oceans, the National Student Exchange Program enables UW-Green Bay students to span state, regional, provincial, and cultural borders through study at partner institutions located in the United States, Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Nearly 200 colleges and universities participate in the National Student Exchange, making it easy for students to find locations, courses, facilities, and environments tailored to meet academic needs and personal interests.

Students are motivated to participate in the National Student Exchange for a variety of reasons; among the most commonly cited are:

To broaden personal and educational experiences

Experience new cultures

Explore new areas of study

Learn from different professors

Access new courses or courses that may be closed at UW-Green Bay

Experience personal growth

Meet new people

Make new friends

Acquire life skills

Experience a different climate

Investigate graduate schools

Seek future employment

Be closer to family living outside of Wisconsin

Become more independent and resourceful

Like study abroad, volunteerism, internships, service learning, and research, participation in the National Student Exchange enhances an undergraduate education and demonstrates to graduate schools and future employers that participants have motivation, flexibility, and a desire to go beyond the status-quo.
